He's Carrying Too Much Baggage at Chelsea

It doesn't take a genius to note Fernando Torres is damaged goods at Chelsea.

Such has been his ill fortune these past three-and-a-half years, he is carrying too much baggage.

He needs a fresh start.

For whatever reason, it's never quite worked out for him at Chelsea and whenever he makes the slightest error or misses an opportunity, out come the headlines and columns about what a poor investment he has been.

Sometimes the media can be right in their assumptions, but for the most part, Torres isn't afforded the same patience as other players.

A £50 million price tag will do that to you. Leaving Liverpool for Chelsea under controversial circumstances only increases the hyperbole.
